  • Artist Info: I'm Kira Miri, but you can call me Kira. Nice to meet you, whether you are simply passing by, or willing to stay a little longer.<br />

    What else about me? I'm 18, originally from Moscow, but now living in Edinburgh and studying Japanese, as well as the History of China and Japan at University, which has been my dream for a very long time. It's definitely not just because of anime. I started liking it first when my mom and my grandma read folk tales to me. What fascinated me were the stories of mountains, demons and spirits, Tengu, magical fans with pictures that came alive, and if waved, made your nose grow.. Then I watched some films like "The Ghost Ship" or "The Cat in Boots" (the latter apparently being an old Ghibli film, or a film on which Miyazaki worked?). After that, I saw Sailormoon on TV, didn't like it at first, but ended up being very interested in anime and manga. However, it still all comes down to the folk tradition and those stories. Otherwise, I guess, I like almost everything Japanese, both the traditional and the modern parts.<br />

    I enjoy playing the piano and the flute, writing prose and poetry (mostly fantasy or tales), drawing, cross-stitching, knitting, trying to learn how to sew (mostly doll clothes for my pullips), reading (especially classics of different countries), listening to music (well, who doesn't like that?), but, most of all, I love nature and taking walks in my forest back in Moscow, and I don't get many chances to do that now. <br />
    I have never enjoyed team sports or anything competitive. I do like things that I can do on my own, while also fun with friends, like swimming, rock-climbing (just started after a lo-o-ong break), and horse riding.<br />
    <br />
    Not really searching for friends, but always welcoming nice conversation.<br />
